Screaming Monkey Research Laboratories

Nose doesn’t like having my glasses on it but I think that is just the skin reacting. That green is from the lighting. (Compact fluorescent.) It is really more of a hideous yellow.

Just playing with a Canon G9.

I love rooting around the images at the Library of Congress…

…all I want is the cast off my nose. I’d like the pain gone, too. But, really, the cast keeps me from wearing my glasses or makes me want to puke when I do.

I need to get people to sign it after it comes off.

Now to irrigate my sinuses again.

This was in the Mitchner Museum. Hard to keep the windows from blowing out without losing the interior. With each new converter this photo becomes easier to work with.

The nice thing about shooting RAW rather than JPEG is that new software (ACR 4.2) lets you do new things with old photos. So I’m revisiting some photos. This probably wasn’t worth it. But I think I preserved the nice blue of the window. Was hard to do before.

Teddy Roosevelt National Park …

I couldn’t get the river in the middle photo. (This is a photomerge of 3 images.) So this isn’t nearly as cool as it could be.

On to Glacier …

Photoshop CS3′s photomerge function is much improved. I did little but lock the exposure (not even sure I did that) and rotate the camera on the tripod. Fed them to photomerge and then lens correction. Worked peachy. (Both this pano and the TRNP one of the river above are clearly flawed. Both need a lot more foreground. Oh, well.)

I’ve some others I like but they require more time. I didn’t feel like dealing with them now.
